On October 23, Bikes Fight Cancer (BFC) presented Cancer House of Hope with a $35,151 check from funds raised in their June 15 BFC Charity Ride. Their donation allows CHH to stay committed to providing free access to therapies and wellness programs that bring strength, resilience, and hope to those with a cancer diagnosis.

“We are going to be able to use this generous donation across the board for all our programs,” said Toomey, who is proud of the fact that her own BFC team raised $5,100. “Our team went from one rider in 2022 to 12 this year,” she added.

Johnny Morin said that BFC got involved with CHH because they concluded that “Cancer House of Hope’s services align with our mission perfectly.”

Prior to the check presentation, at CHH Meghan Morin and Johnny Morin discussed BFC’s history of a being a group of three cyclists from Palmer becoming a 501 (c)(3) charity and evolving into a large powerhouse team of like-minded fundraising athletes through the BFC Charity Ride and its Pan-Mass Challenge team.
